Lancer Systems LCH7 Octagon Carbon Fiber Handguard 7.62mm 16.25 in XL Length Standard 18 TPI Black

Lancer Systems LCH7 Octagon Carbon Fiber Handguard 7.62mm 16.25 in XL Length Standard 18 TPI Black. Contrary to popular belief we designed these handguards in carbon fiber not for cosmetic reasons but because our carbon fiber handguards are lighter stronger and less heat-conductive than their aluminum counterparts. While they are certainly one of the best options on the market for competition use they are much more than just "go-fast parts". The immense strength durability and low thermal conductivity of Lancer's carbon fiber handguards have made them the favored handguard system for some of the most demanding military units and law enforcement agencies both in the United States and in our allied countries around the globe. NOTE: The proprietary free-floating handguard mount requires the removal of the barrel and specialized knowledge of the AR-10 platform for successful installation and removal. Fixed front sight posts and gas blocks may also need to be removed during installation. If you're not comfortable performing these tasks on your rifle system please consult a certified gunsmith for professional installation.
